Like I say, I usually don't go more than 500 yards, and I can tote it that far.
Sometimes.
But my two Cullman tripods have two-piece, screw-apart center pieces. Maybe I
should try the wonderful Manfrotto 405 head on one of them. They're a lot
lighter than than the 3221. Can an Italian thing get along with a German thing?
